First off sorry about posting it 3 times, i'm not quite sure myself how it happened though.

Also thanks for your feedback..

Have to admit i love how low it sits, can go a bit lower but i don't want to ruin the mudflaps.

next thing on my list is a set of wheels, i'm aiming for a set of 13's so maybe banded steelies or maybe even some starmags.

Cheers

I have no mudflaps left

Haha really.. To be fair mine are heading the same way, I would take them off but I love how it looks with them.

Nice clean lupo mate! i really dig the stance, altho it could use some spacers to fill the arches :D

Thanks bud, I was thinking spacers aswell but i'm gonna wait till I get some new wheels before i get into spacers.

lovely lupo :D seriously clean :)

Thank you very much :)

Just a quick update sen as i haven't been on here for ages :paperbag:

Over the last couple of months the lupo has been in and out of the garage with reoccurring clutch issues, but now the only choice left was to replace the pedal box after discovering that a bracket had broken off and welded back on n the wrong place.

Apart from this, nothing else has been done to the lupo.. But i do have spacers and maybe a little camber in mind, but more on that later on ;)

More updates and pictures soon, gonna try and get back into this abit more :lol:

So again i have left it ages to update, but i am back and so is benji.. Speaking of which has not been up to alot over the christmas period, although i did have a tinker with some camber on the rear wheels which has turned out pretty tbf...

IMG-20121031-01308_zpsa12c964f.jpg

Also some biggish news.. I bought some new wheels!! They're Mk3 Golf steel wheels, or as i've seen 'Baby G60's'. They look abit rough, but under all the dirt they're pretty sound...

IMG-20121107-01321_zps73f7c255.jpg

After a good refurb and some stretched tyres (only slightly though) they should look pretty tidy on benji.

I've also got a few ideas for the coming year, as i'd like to attend my first show this year..

- Front and rear spacers

- Shorter rear springs

- Smooth front bumper

- Fog light grill

One last thing.. is anyone from around Halesowen or around Birmingham?

Thanks :)

Today i had a delivery of a couple goodies..

First is a sheet of carbon fibre vinyl..

IMG-20130115-01461_zps5b7e73a6.jpg

Which ill use to cover my door pillars, heater vents, and whatever else i find that i can cover ;)

Next.. Seen as its a new year, i thought id make more of an effort when it comes to cleaning benji.. so i picked up a few supplies to start me off.

On another note, i took some photos in the snow..

Also benji is taking a trip to the bodyshop tomorrow as he's due some repair caused on a recent trip to the garage, so i thought this would be a valid excuse to have my front bumper smoothed at the same time :D

More updates and pictures once he's back.. watch this space :P

Not alot to report tbh.. benji's still in the body shop, but with this immense amount of snow i dont think ill be getting him back anytime soon :(

On another note, i got a new co-driver :lol:
